在F-35戰機的經驗後，美國海軍決定，將不再與其他軍種共研戰機，而要針對自身的需求，自行研發戰機。

據《全球飛行》（FlightGlobal）與《大眾機械》（Popular Mechanics）網7日報導，大約在2030年代時，這款暫時名為F/A-XX的戰機將取代F/A-18E/F「超級大黃蜂」（Super Hornet），成為航母艦載機。

The U.S. Navy’s next fighter will be designed exclusively for naval service and without cooperation that will result in variants for other services. The unnamed fighter, tentatively named F/A-XX, will replace the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet strike fighter on the decks of navy carriers sometime in the 2030s.

Flightglobal, reporting from the Navy League Sea-Air-Space conference in National Harbor, Maryland, states the navy has decided it has different priorities than the U.S. Air Force. Angie Knappenberger, USN deputy director of air warfare, told reporters that the Navy does not plan on using the fighter to penetrate enemy airspace, a key requirement for the U.S. Air Force’s Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) jet.
